<p><em>Simon says</em>: Please <strong>stand.</strong></p>
<p><em>Simon says</em>: Cross your arms in <strong>front</strong> of your chest.</p>
<p><em>Simon says</em>: Recross your arms placing the <strong>opposite</strong> arm on top.</p>
<p>What you&#8217;ve just experienced is stepping <strong>outside</strong> your comfort zone by changing a <strong>longstanding</strong> habit.</p>
<p>Much of our communication reflects longstanding <strong>habits.</strong> Problem is those longstanding habits lead to complacency, which leads to <strong>mediocrity</strong>.</p>
<p>Mediocre communication <strong>doesn&#8217;t</strong> increase your business.</p>
<p>As your <strong>speech coach</strong>, I help you step <strong>outside</strong> your comfort zone by <strong>modifying</strong> your longstanding communication habits.</p>
<p>The result promises to be a <strong>sound investment</strong>.</p>
